Anti-Bullying
All bullying is troubling -- no matter where, when or to whom it occurs.
The study, which draws information from a decade-long examination of “adolescents receiving special education services” done on behalf of the U.S. Department of Education, shows that 46.3% -- or nearly half -- of young men and women with ASDs are victims of bullying, while 14.8% engage in “perpetration” themselves. Another 8.9% fall into both categories simultaneously (“victimization/perpetration”).
Many people with Autism have trouble recognizing social cues, which makes them awkward around others. They also often engage in repetitive behaviors and tend to be hypersensitive to environmental stimuli, all of which makes kids with the disorder ripe targets for bullies who hone in on difference and enjoy aggravating their victims.
We at Journey Of Hope support No Bullying and hold up to our word. We offer programs for those who are bullied to come out to the farm and enjoy the company of our great equines. Here people can build a healthy, worry-free relationship.
Horses make great therapy animals because they are so in tune to human emotions, and they respond to their environment and those who are in it. We don't have to speak to these great animals because they "read our minds" and our body language. Sitting on top of these animals just makes you feel free and above all others. It truly helps the low self-esteem and builds up confidence among people. Grooming and feeding the horses give children a sense of self-worth and gratitude that these animals need the children to love and take care of them.
So bring yourself, your children , family and friends to enjoy a Bully-free environment on us
FREE OF CHARGE.
